| What you knew: Ted Stevens, indicted! Jerk! Tainted his good family name!
What you didn't know: Stevens had a PAC - Northern Lights PAC - that donated heavily to Republican lawmakers. That PAC was stuffed by VECO executives, the same folks accused of giving illicit donations to Stevens.
Basically, Stevens' cronies were funding campaigns of prominent politicians.
Many of 'em started giving the money away. Exceptions abound, including Stevens' Democratic pal, Daniel Inouye, who's keeping his thirteen grand.
What you're guessing: Dennis Rehberg took ,000 from Northern Lights PAC, and has yet to give the tainted cash away. Oh, I'm sure he will, especially after the news spreads that he's on the VECO teat, just like a whole lot of other GOPers. He'll do the right thing, I'm sure.
Right?
Dennis? |
